anxiety

[raven]

Things that are causing me to be anxious at the moment, a non-exhaustive list:

1. Sleeping (ahaha, it is a hollow laughter);

2. Wedding, comma, the one this weekend (what if it all goes wrong! what if everyone hates everyone else! what if the friend-of-a-friend band don't turn up! what if I FALL ON MY FACE! what if the carefully constructed schedule all falls to pieces! my entire family are coming! it will be just another instance of my inability to do anything right! (see also 5!) oh hell);

3. Wedding, comma, the one in December, the one that is ages away (ages away! ages! John Lewis are selling Christmas stuff!);

4. Welcome to Night Vale (I haven't listened to the latest episode - what if Carlos and Cecil break up? what will I doooo? self, are you really so invested in a half-hour podcast about made-up people? yes yes yes, oh help)

5. Continued unemployment (I had three job interviews last week - it looks like I have not got any of the three jobs);

6. yuletide nominations (it looks so complicated! there has been so much on it I've missed! if I nominate anything it will all go wrong and I will be one of those people who cannot follow simple instructions!);

7. Writing. Can't do it any more. Not a word. Making a speech on Saturday that I haven't written. Hi.

Largely due to (1) and (3), I am not on Twitter or Tumblr a lot this week.

Things that are not causing me to be anxious at the moment, an exhaustive list:

1. Shim;

2. Parks and Recreation (post coming on WHY I LOVE THIS STUPID SHOW SO MUCH, spoilers it has to do with municipal land use and planning!);

3. BBC Alba (I wish I were kidding. I just watched a thoughtful news report on the status of minority languages in Europe. I understood about one word in ten. It was great.).

4. Shim.

/sidles into post (hello would you like to be friends)

the wedding(s) & job-things sound pretty nerve-wracking and idk much but good luck :D

yt noms seem incredibly complicated and the instructions are not entirely helpful so it is definitely not just you! D:

wtnv tho -- shall refrain from spoilers but let's talk about how in "dana" cecil lovingly complains about carlos's "penchant for chewing a little too loudly"! it's a good relationship, it's a well-written relationship, i'm just saying

Hello! I would love to be friends, I love your stories! I am usually much, much less of a fruitcake! and so, in "Dana", I loved that bit where Cecil complains about Carlos's chewing, it's not perfect and beautiful, it's real (and obviously marriage is much on my mind atm), but then people on the internet were like "omg omg THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS OBV DOOMED" and I've been all, what if those people are reading it right and I'm reading it wrong omg omg, so in conclusion you are very reassuring.

(srsly, not usually such a fruitcake)
